A letter from Sen. Andy Vidak (R-Hanford) spelled out an appalling episode, in which several fruit growers whom Hall allegedly threatened, on the eve of his confirmation hearing to the Agricultural Labor Relations Board. Vidak said he personally heard from several witnesses that on the eve of his confirmation hearing before the Senate Rules committee, that ALRB Commissioner Isadore Hall, "in an obscenity-laced tirade, threatened to use his position to 'get' several farmers who oppose his confirmation. The incident occurred at the Hyatt on February 28," Vidak wrote. Feb. 28 was the date of the California Fresh Fruit Association Annual Government Relations Trip in Sacramento. In the evening, many of the members met in the bar at the Hyatt, where they were confronted by former Senator Hall. I also heard about Hall's "obscenity-laced tirade." I was told Hall said, "Are you the mother******s here to testify against me tomorrow?" Hall then allegedly said, "I have a memory and I am going to get you," delivering a threat. My sources said Hall dropped the mother*****r F-bomb numerous times in a hair-raising, threatening tone to the farmers.
